"the amount of hours an employee didn't work" in one word?

[Tomm]

Hi!

The task is to make a table which would show the amount of working hours that employees did during a week among with the amount of working hours they didn't do.

There are two columns:
1st - "Result", it shows the amount of hours an employee worked.
2nd - it shows the amount of hours an employee didn't work (out of the amount which they should've worked).

For example:
John:
Result: 28 hours a week.
*2nd column*: 12 hours a week.

So is there any word which describes the amount of work/hours which are "not done" (but should be done)?

They were absent from work without permission or were late.

All I can think of is "hours missed" or "hours absent". But to make it completely clear that legitimate absences are not included, I think I would want to put a word like "unauthorised" in there too. This is getting further away from your "in one word" hope.

By the way, "Result" does not seem like a very helpful column heading. Why not "hours worked"? Perhaps it's clearer in context.

"a week" also seems odd for absences. It suggests that someone is always absent the same amount each week, which seems unlikely.

I would probably use:
Attendance (Hours) -
Unauthorised absence (Hours) -

Thank you for your replies and suggestions!

In Business management, they call it Idled Hours or Idled Time, I believe.

kind regards.

I don't believe that is a standard term for absence without permission.

I mean the number of hours an employee can't or isn't able to perform a scheduled plan on the shop floor during the working hours due to an unavoidable situation like strike, machine down , lack of raw materials, or of components. As I understand the topic.
They use this term as Idled hours/ time or Downtime when they make a production table, chart or report.

Or I must be mistaken the meaning of the topic.

kind regards.

Mr. Kyaw Min Lwin,

[Mr. Kyaw Min Lwin]

They call it Absence without leave, AWOL , intentional lateness or tardiness is categorized as AWOL too, I believe.

Right, but AWOL usually has military connotations. If used in a non-military context it seems informal or even frivolous, so it probably would not be suitable in Tomm's case.

[Mr. Kyaw Min Lwin]

AWOL can be originally one of the military terms which is officially and widely used in administrative procedures and regulations since administration stems from the military rules and regulations, they say. I learnt this word from the Business Management books by world class masters of management.

kind regards.
